Dare to Do with #SachchiAdvice

Since my childhood I have loved to write. Being the only child of my
parents, I had got everything that came to me before I had even desired.
Although my parents have always taught me to be strong and self-dependent, I
actually faced the real and harsh world once I came out of the shell of my
hometown and ventured out, to pursue my higher studies, and eventually for my
career. That was the real world, far from my mother's warm embrace and my
father's caring hug.

It was a new world with different people to whom I was just a person
trying to get my foothold strong. I was scared and often hurt. However, I got a
friend, who in spite of staying far from me, was giving continuous support to
me. He was also away from his home with dreams in his eyes, just like me. We
used to chat over phone and share our difficult times and always ended up on a
positive note. I realized within sometime that he was my best friend, a true
friend in need.

Life after studies is much harder, and I moved to a city very far from
my hometown with a job. And thankfully my best friend was also there, pursuing
his Doctoral research. He became my biggest support in a place where
everything, starting from the food to the language was alien to me. He always
gave me tips to stay happy and to work with a definite goal in mind. Life was
never better and our friendship deepened with time.

Till date I consider this man as my best friend. No matter what I do, it
is 50% of his efforts and support that I do. He is my crudest critique and
biggest fan and he has shown me how to follow my dreams and achieve my goals,
without hesitating and waiting for tomorrow. My life would have been
meaningless without his #SachchiAdvice and he is none other than my husband.
